Yamaha builds, like, everything, from ATVs and outboard motors, to electronics and musical instruments. It seems there’s almost no pie this Japanese conglomerate doesn’t have a finger deeply buried in.

Yamaha recently showed off an R1-powered dirt track turnkey concept car.

It appears that Yamaha is working on a amphibious car, shown in new patent design drawings.

The 2015 Tokyo Motor Show has come to a close, and it hosted the debuts of two of the hottest concept cars we’ve seen in a while.

To one side is Tokyo Bay, to the other, Japan’s capital and largest metropolitan area on planet Earth. In between these leviathans is a world-renowned biennial motor show. Maybe you’ve heard of it?

Toyota and Yamaha announced today that they have formed a collaboration to bring communications linked, next-generation vehicles to the market with concepts debuting at the upcoming  2011 Tokyo Motor Show. With the aim of building a new society for the future, the two next-generation vehicles on display will be a communications-linked electric commuter concept and an electrically power-assisted bicycle concept.

It shouldn’t be too much of a stretch to notice that there’s a correlation between rising gas prices and the number of people gobbling up motorcycles and scooters.
